He had plans with Groundhog to have lunch in his den. Fox made himself get ready and set off for Groundhog’s home at a slow pace. Fox sighed when he realized he’d forgotten the cake he made for Groundhog at home. I bet he won’t even like it, Fox thought to himself. Still, he turned around and returned home for it. When he got into his kitchen, he picked up the small lemon and blackberry cake and frowned. The frosting was starting to look crooked and the whole cake was leaning. He sighed and took the cake to Groundhog’s anyway. He stood at the entrance and waited for Groundhog to come and let him in. Groundhog opened the door with a wide smile on his face. He pulled Fox in for a gentle hug and exclaimed about how beautiful the cake was. Immediately, Fox started to feel better. He found himself laughing and joking with Groundhog all through lunch. What was I so angry about to begin with? He wondered. Groundhog cut both of them a slice and the two enjoyed the rest of their meal. Fox said goodbye to Groundhog and thanked him for his kindness. “I was having a terrible day before I came here. I must have just needed a friend.
